Weekend Recap 06.21.11

Skipping Sunday and starting with Thursday and #secrethandshake

I always go but I never blog - the Lo has garbage lighting for taking photos unless you hang out right next to the bathrooms or in them



Post Lo Pub Ty, @cenquist, and @cjgibson84 and I went to scope out Latin Night for Jazzfest and drink awful beer in the beer tent

we also took this picture?


additional company was provided by @khemlab and his lovely wifey Kendra, as well as the awesome @GordLeClercCTV

Friday was Project Evening in which Ty did projects and I watched Casino Royale, some episodes of Big Love, and this:

Super glad we stayed in otherwise we might not have had the juice to spend the day lounging in the sun with @JohnnyBroadway, @ckomus, @morleyrigged, Kat and Shawna.



It's our first beach outing of the year and it was heaps of fun, there were some NSFW shots of pretzels that I have safely stored on my phone (haha!) and being out in the sun with great friends is really pumping me up for the camping trip we have planned for Canada Day long weekend -I've never been out of the city for the long weekend, but it's going to be insane, I can tell.



and yikes! Only one more day until #memefestival2011! The festival begins Thursday night at Whiskey Dix at 9pm on the patio! I'll be live tweeting the event (and blogging, if the time allows) for the entire four days of the festival from our twitter at @memefestival so pick a time and come out and say hi!

Let's shine brighter, let's be you and me

You may recall last June when I attended a festival in downtown Winnipeg called the Manitoba Electronic Music Exhibition -MEME for short- (the flickr set is here). It was a fantastic time with lots of great music, solid people and an amazing venue at The Cube; in the Exchange District.

Based on last year's experience I was clearly pumped to go again, but this year I have even more of a reason to be excited: I've been brought on as the Communications Coordinator for the festival and will be collaborating with some seriously talented people to help enhance the festival this year.



Not only does MEME have a snazzy new logo, it also has a brand spakin' new website; jam-packed with info about the festival, artist bios and cool articles, but we're also on Twitter at @memefestival (so give us a Follow)!

I'm genuinely thrilled to be working with so many awesome people, like Nathan and Mich of Symptomtech, Adam of Balanced Records, Jabez, Skot (aka Mr Ghosty)and so many more creative, driven and inspiring individuals!

We have so much to offer everyone in #Winnipeg this summer and though we've all been working really hard to get the ball rolling, it's only just begun!

I foresee a jam-packed summer ahead :)
